Your photographers
Hi, we are Erica and Douglas
We believe that a wedding is an extension of who you are as a couple. In the same way, our photography is an extension of who we are.
We are married, Christians, and deeply committed to documenting what truly matters.
We have experienced a wedding day from every perspective: as photographers, as bride and groom, and as guests. Because of that, we understand the value of a presence that is discreet, yet attentive.
Our work is about walking alongside you, understanding your priorities, and creating memories that will still feel meaningful now and many years from today, with sensitivity, intention, and technique.
We will be your eyes throughout the day, so you can rest, trust, and fully live what is happening.
God created romance. We preserve His creation.
Our greatest concern on your wedding day is to document moments, emotions, reactions, and interactions in the most beautiful and honest way possible.
We want you to remember not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt. We want you to return to the emotions you lived and discover details you may not even have noticed while they were happening.
Our photography is not about interrupting your day or turning your celebration into a photo session. It is about being present, attentive, and intentional while your story unfolds naturally.
step 1
First Contact
We take the time to understand what you envision for your wedding day and introduce you to our work. Our goal is to give you all the information you need, understand what matters most to you, and share what matters deeply to us as well.
step 2
Thoughtfully Planning Your Destination Wedding
Because we will be traveling from Brazil exclusively to document your wedding, every detail will be thoughtfully planned in advance. Before the wedding, we will align the photography timeline, meaningful moments, family and wedding party portraits, locations, and any priorities you would like us to be especially attentive to. Once we arrive at your wedding destination, we will meet with you in person for a final planning alignment before the celebration.
step 03
Your Wedding Celebration
On the wedding day, we will be there with a discreet and attentive presence. We will gently guide you when guidance is helpful and step back when the moment deserves to be lived naturally. You celebrate. You feel. You stay present. We document the story as it truly happens.
step 4
Preview and Full Gallery
Within 24 hours after the end of your wedding celebration, you will receive a carefully curated preview gallery. This first selection will include meaningful moments and essential portraits from your day, allowing you to begin reliving and sharing your wedding while the emotions are still fresh. Your complete online gallery, with all selected and carefully edited images, will be delivered within 30 business days.

how the day works
Getting ready
The quiet preparation before saying "I do."
This part of the day is meant to feel calm and fully enjoyed. During this time, we document the details, the atmosphere, the people beside you, and the emotions that begin to unfold before the ceremony.
When you are ready, we gently guide you for portraits that preserve this moment beautifully and naturally.
Ceremony
During the ceremony, we do not interfere. Our eyes remain attentive to every emotion and every reaction.
We are there to preserve the looks, the touches, the smiles, the tears, and the moments that make your ceremony uniquely yours.
Reception and Celebration
This is the time to celebrate with the people you love.
We photograph family and wedding party portraits efficiently and thoughtfully, so you can return to your guests and truly enjoy the celebration.
From there, the memories are documented as you live them: naturally, honestly, and with attention to the moments that matter.

Whenever I remember our wedding day, I will also remember how special it was to have you there with us.”
